Christmas Spirit

I was a bit surprised that some of my readers were "surprised" that I put up my Christmas tree already. That is why I miss my country during this time of the year because you can feel the Spirit of Christmas as soon as the BER month has started. We do not have Thanksgiving in the Philippines so I can understand why over here, they want to put their Christmas decor right after the Thanksgiving.

Anyway, even the stores would agree to what I am feeling as they display their Christmas decors earlier than mine lol.

We usually put up our decors right after Undas. This time though, we're putting it off a couple of weeks. There's just not much Christmas spirit around after the devastation of Yolanda. But we Filipinos are very resilient so I'm sure Pinoys would still find it in their hearts to find joy this season and celebrate with glee.

I like putting up our Christmas tree the day after the thanksgiving. I like to put it up as early as I can so I can really enjoy the tree. Well, not just me, but the kids as well. :) I love Christmas season, but this Christmas is going to be a different one.
